This may or may not pose a problem, I don't know for sure yet, never actually tried implementing such a thing within a vBulletin Modification.

Yeah, I totally forgot about that.
Maybe it could work that way: A user requests access to the webservice by filling out a small form including the domain where the requests come from. If the request is approved the domain gets added to the whitelist.
But this would not work if you use an external application.
